I know little about politics but neither of these two appeal to me as being able to represent the country.

What would it look like for either of these to be president? It's clear that both have incriminating pasts, but what do you think they will do in the future?

I watched Al's first video, the 13 minutes of Hilary being inconsistent and lying outright. Didn't have video patience for the others.

So far, Sanders seems the least terrible of all the terrible options.

Between Hilary and Trump, I would go for Hilary, because I think she would do less damage. As much as I abhor inconsistency, Trump is good at inciting mobs to hatred, and that's not something that I would want to be backing any policy decisions. If Hilary sells out to big banks and insurance companies, it won't be that different from what's already happening to the middle class and young people, getting totally screwed over financially. It's a risk, but even with corrupt insurance, I wouldn't want to see the USA lose the Affordable Care Act.

Sanders is a terrible option. I can say that I trust him and believe his consistency BUT he is a cultural Marxist. So I trust he would in trying to give free everything to the lower class, working class and lower middle class, Screw the rich and force them and the companies they manage to go offshore where they won't get screwed by tax. I believe he will look after minorities to the point that equality of outcome will supersede equality of options, will implement more and more PC measures to protect people from bad ideas and bad behaviour that he will implement more draconian measures to limit freedom of expression. Social Justice Warriors have a Daddy and his name is Bernie.

Is he worse than Trump or Hillary?  Much of a muchness.
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

Hate them both :zombiefuck: now would be a good time for an independent candidate the problem is the system is stacked against them.
Both Bernie and Trump are as close as we've come in a very long time to independent candidates.  With each, the concern is that if they branched off, they'd split the vote on their respective side and then the other side would win by virtue of a more united vote- i.e. if Bernie ran as independent, Hillary would run as democrat, they'd each get a fraction of the democratic vote, and Trump would get the full support of the republican side and win.  Same with Trump running as independent, albiet it's still less bloody clear who would then take over the republican nomination.

You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

I think Cruz and Rubio should join up and run against Trump

Him being so far out there on so many issues is what makes him a very good candidate.  The president alone can't change or make laws they need congress and they will go along with most of his further out there ideas so in the end nothing really gets done and in four years there is a reset.  He can issue executive orders and set the tone of things but it can be changed by the next president.  Cruz would like nothing better than turn the US into a a theocracyLink and Rubio is basically Cruz lite.  Clinton was already covered well in your posts.  Sure they can't make laws without congress either but they are much more likely to get their ideas past it than Bernie is

I quite liked Sanders. I'm not too keen on Hilary at all, but she's light years ahead of the terrible two of Trump and Cruz. She might be a liar, but at least she seems mostly sane.
Trump is just evil, and Cruz is an evil evangelical Christian. I can't believe any sensible person would vote for the Republican party, who seem like some kind of weird extremist Christian party.

Trump would be better than Hilary

On paper perhaps, but Trump could prove to be so unpredictable that no one know the damage he'll cause.

Scrap should go for it, and stand up as an independent candidate.
